dc.descriptionThis document contains the report of the FAO and WECAFC Workshop on Implementing the 2009 FAO Agreement on Port State Measures to Combat Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing (the Agreement), which was held in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, from 24 to 28 March 2014. The workshop focused on the implementation of the Agreement from a legal and policy, institutional and capacity development, and operations point of view. Following the introduction, participants were apprised of IUU fishing characteristics in the Caribbean region including its impact on resources and economic consequences. Port State measures in the global context were considered together with the use of port State measures to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing. The key provisions of the Agreement and implications for regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) were highlighted along with RFMO practices in supporting the implementation of port State measures. A questionnaire on port State mea sures that had been provided to the participants in advance of the workshop was analysed, disseminated and presented to the participants. The role of fisheries managers and inspectors in implementing port State measures was considered and ways of moving forward with the implementation process addressed. Stakeholders’ perspective on port State measures and good governance issues were reviewed. Participatory activities led to the formulation of action planning and workshop recommendations at the n ational and regional levels. Opportunities for regional cooperation to implement port State measures were addressed in detail. The anonymous evaluation of the workshop was positive. Funding and support for the workshop were provided by the Government of Norway (Trust Fund GCP/GLO/515/NOR).
